ColorJSON:

The Fast Color JSON Marshaller for Go

What is this?

Clone from original.

This package is based heavily on hokaccha/go-prettyjson but has some noticible differences:

Over twice as fast (recursive descent serialization uses buffer instead of string concatenation)

BenchmarkColorJSONMarshall-4     500000      2498 ns/op
BenchmarkPrettyJSON-4            200000      6145 ns/op

more customizable (ability to have zero indent, print raw json strings, etc...)
better defaults (less bold colors)

ColorJSON was built in order to produce fast beautiful colorized JSON output for Saw.

Installation

go get -u github.com/nmccready/colorjson

Usage

Setup

import "github.com/nmccready/colorjson"

str := `{
  "str": "foo",
  "num": 100,
  "bool": false,
  "null": null,
  "array": ["foo", "bar", "baz"],
  "obj": { "a": 1, "b": 2 },
  "unique": "Oh HI!"
}`

// Create an intersting JSON object to marshal in a pretty format
var obj map[string]interface{}
json.Unmarshal([]byte(str), &obj)

Vanilla Usage

s, _ := colorjson.Marshal(obj)
fmt.Println(string(s))

Customization (Custom Indent)

f := colorjson.NewFormatter()
f.Indent = 2
f.KeyMapColors["unique"] = color.New(color.FgHiMagenta)

s, _ := f.Marshal(v)
fmt.Println(string(s))
